Alisson Becker to play against Nottingham Forest

Jurgen Klopp has confirmed Alisson Becker will start in goal against Nottingham Forest in the Emirates FA Cup.

The Reds travel to face the Championship side on Sunday night in the quarter-finals of this season’s competition.

Caoimhin Kelleher featured in the first two rounds of the tournament against Shrewsbury Town and Cardiff City, but missed the fifth-round victory over Norwich City.

The Republic of Ireland international played a vital role in the club’s Carabao Cup success, though Klopp’s No.1 will take up his usual spot between the posts this weekend.

“The FA Cup is Ali,” the boss told his pre-match press conference on Friday morning.
